Silen Control Panel provides users with complete control over their office pods.

At Silen, we’re all about creating quiet, innovative spaces that make work life better. Our office pods already offer soundproof sanctuaries for focus and privacy, but now we’re leveling up with the new Silen Control Panel. Forget basic light and ventilation tweaks — this upgrade gives you full control of your pod’s vibe. Welcome to the future of personalized workspaces!

Why Personalization Matters

Customizing a workspace isn’t just a nice perk — it’s essential for boosting productivity and well-being. Research shows that when employees have control over factors like ergonomics, lighting, temperature, and noise levels, productivity and job satisfaction increase, while stress levels decrease.

But why stop there? Our pods go beyond soundproofing to deliver unmatched customization, allowing everyone to create their ideal work environment. Need more air? Softer lighting for a video call? Or total privacy at the push of a button with smart glass activation? With the Control Panel, it’s all just a touch away, creating a workspace that feels personalized for your best work.

From Dimmer to Control Panel

Gone are the days of fiddling with basic settings—now, you’re the master of your pod’s universe. Remember when the Silen Dimmer was your go-to for adjusting light and air? That was just the beginning. We've listened to your feedback and responded with a complete overhaul. The new Control Panel gives you more than just the basics. Now, you can manage ventilation intensity, change light intensity and light temperature, activate and deactivate smart glass, and even tune in to relaxation modes with the upcoming Silen Zen feature.

Perfect video calls in a flash

The Control Panel lets you activate Conference Mode in face-lit pods with just a quick tap. Top lights dim, face lights kick in, and — voila! — you've got the perfect video call setup in seconds. It’s a lifesaver when you're racing against time and need to jump into a meeting at the last minute. And don’t worry, even after Conference Mode is on, you can still tweak the settings to suit your style.

Zen at a Button's Push

The Control Panel even allows the integration of truly innovative features, such as the Silen Zen concept, whose prototype will be revealed at ORGATEC 2024. With a simple press of a button, the smart glass becomes opaque, blocking out distractions and creating a private cocoon. From there, you can choose from a range of soundscapes — like the calming sounds of nature, dreamy meditative ambiance, or a peaceful musical wonderland. The pod, in fact, any Silen pod, thus becomes your private Zen sanctuary, offering you the chance to recharge before your next big task. All thanks to the Control Panel, which is now capable of controlling both the auditory and visual experience.

User-Friendly Design: Simplicity Meets Sophistication

We know that technology should enhance, not complicate, your experience. That’s why we’ve designed the Control Panel in collaboration with award-winning UX experts to ensure it's as intuitive as flipping a switch. With a user-friendly interface and thoughtful design, adjusting your privacy pods is as easy as pushing a button. Whether you’re tech-savvy or prefer things simple, it is built for everyone.

See It in Action: Join Us at ORGATEC

Ready to Take Control?
